What is Behavioral and Mental Health?

Behavioral psychiatry is the study of behavior, while mental health concerns itself with the mind and brain. These two health issues concern all behavioral problems and mental illness, from mild depression to schizophrenia, from bipolar disorder to dementia.

Both behavioral and mental health plays an important role in helping people better understand their minds and bodies to make informed decisions about their lives.
